Top 10 Views At Glensheen Mansion
The spots that make our location so special.
10. The 3rd Floor
The 3rd floor (also known as the boy’s floor) may not be outside, but it sure provides quite the view. If on an expanded tour, you will be able to see the 3rd floor in all its glory. Each room provides an impressive view that overlooks the estate, and even more impressive is that it has one of the most in tact John Bradstreet Arts and Crafts collections anywhere.

One of the best views on the grounds is from the Formal Garden. You can see our well-kept flowers and plants, fountain, and beautiful estate.
